Holiday Homes in the Sun S01E03 - Dordogne, near Bordeaux - France

In this episode, property expert Amanda Lamb, presenter and JLS star JB Gill, and DJ and presenter Sam Pinkham are heading to the Dordogne, near Bordeaux in the heart of French wine country, competing to find the best countryside retreat. 

The Dordogne Valley, famously known as the ‘valley of 1,001 chateaux', is a perfect holiday destination for outdoor enthusiasts, history buffs, and lovers of cheese and wine, so they've found four of the best holiday homes in the area to cater for every taste. 

Amanda's house is nestled deep in wine country, surrounded by vineyards and boasts an impressive pool and period décor. Sam opts for a beautifully refurbished goathouse in the grounds of a chateau with space for the family and acres of land to relax in. JB's property is perfect for a big family getaway, with five bedrooms, and a pool and games room, but will its remote location hurt its chances? 

Then there's the mystery property, a jaw-dropping eco-friendly hideaway in the remote forests of rural France. Will it win the day or be beaten by the more traditional offerings? With all four sunny holiday homes offering such different experiences, which will be the winner?
